First Day of School

 The night before school started AJ set out all of his new clothes and decided what he was going to wear on what day of the week.  AJ has really developed his own unique style recently.  

 Ready to walk to school.

Here are the boys dropping Jocelyn off for her first day.  Jocelyn really struggled the first week of school. She cried every day that first week.  She also wouldn't eat her lunch at school. The way that our school organized the first week of Kindergarten was that the kids saw all four teachers.  Each day was a new teacher with the same group of kids.  Jocelyn really struggled with the newness of everything every single day...it was like the first day of school for an entire week!  Then on Friday the kids were assigned a teacher.  I was so grateful when Friday finally came hoping that Jocelyn would feel a sense of security knowing who her teacher would be and where her classroom would be.   We got to her classroom and she noticed that the kids were not the same kids she had been with all week.  She began crying and was upset when I had to leave her.  By the end of the second week she was secure and had made new friends.  Now she is doing really well in Kindergarten.  We have all day kindergarten here so she walks to and from school with her brothers.  She is in the top reading group and is doing really well.  I began subbing this year since all my kids were in school.  It has been an interesting learning experience so far but I am enjoying being able to work and I love working at my kids school when the opportunity arises.
